The REALIZE® Solution for gastric banding, gastric bypass, and sleeve gastrectomy

The REALIZE Solution† for gastric banding, gastric bypass, and sleeve gastrectomy marks the beginning of a new era in obesity treatment. Not only does the REALIZE Solution help patients lose significant weight and improve their health, it includes support each step of the way.

Experts agree that bariatric surgery patients require help to adopt a new healthy lifestyle and to stay in touch with their bariatric team. That’s why the REALIZE Solution provides more than weight loss procedures. It includes the REALIZE mySUCCESS® Program, a Web-based clinical support tool designed to help patients achieve and maintain a healthier weight. In fact, it has been shown that REALIZE® Band patients who frequently use REALIZE mySUCCESS® lose significantly more weight.*
